I thought about "whatawhopper", but she might not like that one. tchsmile

Any better suggestions.

I would just mention that I do not have her permission for this. #pantsonfire

If we all just call her WOT anyway instead of typing the rest of her name we will win by usage.

If all else fails WOT could always resign for an hour and come back straight away as WOT

She's joking! hmm. Take no notice of the daft old bugger dear old soul.

Ooooeeeeerrrrr!!!!!! They won't let me shorten my name ,cos I swore on another thread!
Surely not! I mean, surely that isn't a valid reason for not letting you change your name Wot?

rosequartz Sun 03-Jan-16 23:04:23

rq I saw a bracelet in a shop yesterday, made of rosequarz. It was so pretty! You can't possibly change

Just like me then wink
(not)

Thank you! I sit here alone in my bed worrying while my partner sites in his room smoking and not talking. I think he is going downhill quickly but won't entertain seeing the doctor. So maybe swearing is a release. I'm trying to do "dry January" as well! Violins, please!

No you didn't, don't be silly! 'Bollock chops' is not swearing...

I hope they haven't seen this. Element of surprise....

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 03-Jan-16 22:14:51

I don't get up very early. (Just thought I'd better mention that)

Don't start without me.

Tomorrow
We shall not be moved.
We shall not be moved
Together we stand
Waving our Gransnet Banner
Our demands must be met
WOT is her name!

Katek Sun 03-Jan-16 16:06:56

Didn't mean to muddy waters.....soz!! Just my middle name and random initial, thought it looked a bit Egyyptian like Karnak or something! Wishful thinking. smile

Galen sounds like your DGD takes after you. Soon be helping you choose which pearls to take on your cruises smile

I like Wot too. Much better without the rest of it.
rosequartz is a pretty name, don't change it.

Messgae to GNHQ. Miss, Miss. jings is going to cause trouble again shock Miss, Miss, will she have to go on the naughty step. #notasneek grin

It's one of the minerals my 4year old dgd can identify along wth tigers eye and amethyst.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 03-Jan-16 12:49:41

Tomorrow. That's when the badgering will start. >>rubs hands gleefully<< smile

Crow Sun 03-Jan-16 12:43:14

I changed my name , I joined the year Gransnet started, then realised my chosen name was identifiable by persons and as life was a bag of sh1t I asked if I could change for that reason. I then chose a short name from a silly rhyme I learned in Brownies.
I too like WOT.
Fun chat this one is.grin

RoseQ you have been talking about changing your name for ages! Just do it

well, you are the oldest were here first wink

rosequartz Thu 31-Dec-15 19:03:23

I like it, but people do get very confused
including me sometimes

Ana Thu 31-Dec-15 17:34:33

Bossy boots! hmm smile

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 31-Dec-15 17:26:28

Nothing wrong with your name rq. Behave. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 31-Dec-15 17:25:18

WOT it is then. The caps are fine. Don't need the ABC etc bit. Made it sound like an unreliable password.

Will badger put in the request on Monday. smile

KatyK Thu 31-Dec-15 16:30:34

I like wot. My DH sometimes calls me wot (it stands for Whingeing Old Tart) but obviously wouldn't in this case grin

Ana Thu 31-Dec-15 15:37:23

wot, you don't want your new name to be in shouty capitals, do you? Or do you? grin

Better make it clear before the badgering gets underway...

rosequartz Thu 31-Dec-15 15:32:02

grin

Well, it's on the cards for me hmm, because I am one of the Gnetters who make people confused
But then that adds to the fun
